Since you found the fix for streaming, is it safe to assume v5 will bring video and audio streaming too? :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
He has allready say that streaming will come with v005
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
small progress again

-initial sensor source(we are no longer using se precompiled sensors) / light and proximity dont work for now

-corrected axes for akmd in sensor

for now there are still lots of other drivers to write

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
What he's done is make a git repo for developing a Xperia rom. The link in the OP is not to a rom, but rather to a place where the code lives. I say lives as Git is a distributed revision control system. This means that rather than just sharing his compiled rom he gives us all access to the code, and asks us to contribute (help develop).

tl;dr - it's the best thing happening to this platform since sliced bread.

My baseband is the same,only two last numbers are 15 compared to J's 06. So I was wondering will my signal strengh will be affected if I flash that baseband?

I'm also interested how to backup baseband.

And is it possible to restore my current rom with xrecovery from this rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
It is compiled with prelink map as racht's ROM too, right? Because it should give us more speed and optimizations for X8's processor...

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ryukenden:
I must say that this RC1 is slower by performance compared to racht's 2.3.2 ROM, and compared to hackdroid 2.2.1 ROM.

Linpack score is around 6000

Quadrant Advanced is around 955

Hackdroid ROM made better results in both Linpack and Quadrant tests (over 7000 in Linpack and 1123 for Quadrant)

So yea, there is probably some tweaking left here and there, this is just a RC1.

Overall performance of the ROM feels like slightly slower than Floyo or racht's 2.3.2 ROM...

EDIT 1: Sound is a lot quieter than usual, even with maxed out volume in settings...

EDIT 2: Phone got more responsive when used Launcher Pro instead of stock launcher

Looking forward to final release :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asdoos:
Have tested. With Froyo and sam baseband it works without any issue but on 2.3.2 it won't wrk
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
Nice progress, impressed with sensors and camera support.

Its compiled with autoprelink, would be easier to fix if you can compile with same prelinks that I used in 2.3.2, map is here :

prelink-linux-arm-msm722x.map

The libsoundpool can't be replaced, and thats the one responsible for wrong output sources (music does not play on speaker, but on ear-piece).

Why did you base on CommtivaZ71 ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
How do it?

1. Open X10FlashTool.exe

2. Press on button "Flash"

3. Press on button "OK"

4. Connect X8 on flash mode

That is correct?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
That is correct. After that load up xrecovery and update.

If you've not copied your update.zip you can mount sdcard and then mount the reader - from within xrecovery. Sometimes you need to remount the sdcard partition to refresh file-list before xrecovery will find the update.zip

A very good version 0001. Maybe not as fast on benchmarks, but it feels very good. Complained about my sdcard maybe as it had ext3 partition aswell. Have now done backup of card using external reader and will let it reformat :)

Edit: That did the trick :)

Edit: I get no native app2sd

Edit: I can't mount sdcard to PC

So far no apps have failed :)

will give logcats if you want
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timk1764:
Data also isn't working for me, its not the baseband because I restored a backup I made of the minicm rom and its kept the baseband for this rom execpt data works..?

Also sound is really low compared to other roms and also I noticed in cm settings - dithering is on and vm heap is only set to 16 which would be lowering quadrant benchmarks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] muharama:
because z71 have almost similiar hardware with x8 except camera (5 mp)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaptainZap:
Take your time j, there's no need to rush the rom until you finish your goals for v0.05. I do hope you get wifi working, cause without it I cannot run your rom on a daily basis.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
Precisely. Take your time with 005. Fix the proximity and light sensors etc. We already have streaming working, thanks to you. We can wait for the camcorder fix :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jamesbond22:
I agree. Rom 2.3 is harder to port than rom 2.2. Take time with v005.

Camcorder, wi-fi and fm radio - it is missing...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] LFSPovo:
Please add WiFi to v005 because it's very important ;)

And like others said, take your time. :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cynsx:
is a baseband xxx015 required before flashing this rom?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
First, don't quote whole post for nothing...

Second, baseband is provided in archive together with update.zip

Third, it's 006 baseband and if you have X8a then by flashing this baseband you'll lose 3G, so you should go to my basebands collection and flash X8a 006 baseband.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JasoX:
Im using this rom and i have the baseband ending with 015 and 3G works fine.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Blagus:
No, you got it wrong - if you flash X8i baseband to X8a and vice-versa, you'll lose 3G...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Imppy:
I still have 3g even when I flash with x8I 015 and im on x8a for some odd reason

ANT+

Hey guys and gals!

I just ordered the x8, mainly because of it's the support of ant+. So here's my question: If I change the rom to this one 2.3.3 will I loose the ant+ function? If so do you know of any other rom that's compatible with ant+?

Also how is the performance out of the box? Would I get a big boost in user experience by changing the rom?

Regards

Adam
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] oisteink:
This is OT but: Currently there's no support of Ant+ on any of the custom rom's. That's not saying it won't be in the future.

As for a boost it depends on the user :) For some 2.1 is quite adequate, and that's probably as far as SEMC will go with updates on this device. I know google aim to improve the usability on each version of android, so if you ask them they would say that you will get a boost in user experience by upgrading to 2.2 or 2.3

You're not likely to see SEMC special apps like their four-corner-homescreen and timescape ported to work on these rom's.

This specific thread is for developing a 2.3.3 Cyanogenmod 7 rom. Search on youtube for "android 2.2" "android 2.3" and "cyanogenmod 7" to find video's explaining the awesome super-duper features that they represent :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Evander_F:
Just a quick question...is OMX fixed?

Another quick one what exactly is ant+?

Awesome work!!

A query.

The WORKING list includes:

- sensors

- apps 2sd ( native with provided baseband

and kernel 015 )

- audio & video streaming

- wifi

- FmRadio

1. But you mention light and proximity doesnt work, right? Can the backlight be set manually?

2. Wifi works? Awesome!!!

3 . Is video playback fixed completely?

Thanks a lot!! :-)

Is Mobile Data off by default?

I take it that the phone will not auto detect when wired headset is plugged in?

Will Video recording ever work (i.e you're working on it) or does the faulty hardware encoder mean that it will never work?

- wi-fi work

- video playing work

- vibration work

- video streaming work (HQ too)

- Sound Recorder work

- video recording work but not with all modes

- automatic brigtness not work

- sound plays from speaker for call

- reebot after killing Root Explorer

- camera (photo) max resolution VGA

- FM Radio not work (no sound)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] karun11:
What do you mean by this?

For example, when I watch an mp4 is a sound comes from front speaker.

seems audio comes from front speaker rather rear speaker?

Tested CM7-05 and for me dont work:

sometimes phone after restart dont work (must be removed battery to work again)

sometimes after lock screen phone crashes (must be removed battery to work again)

sound plays only from front speaker

fm radio (no sound)

after market update phone removes SD card and restarts self

after root explorer kill phone removes SD card and restarts self

rec camera

All sound comes out of front speaker instead of rear, is this the sound routing problem that you meant J? Also vibrate on keypress doesn't work on keyboard even when it's set to on.

Music and Notifications are quiet. I restored my floyo 0.15 backup so I don't know what in call audio is like, as with audio only coming out of front speaker and WiFi only having wept encryption I can't justifying using it on a day 2 day basis just yet, also Mobile data needs to be set 2 off by default.

how does this rom compare to rachts legend?

how does this rom compare to rachts legend?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] racht:
May I answer that please? :)

J: thanks for switching to latest baseband.

This rom should be more advanced and much more properly done because it's built from modified sources and the Legend rom I posted is built by replacing files.

Jerpelea is doing the hard work of rewriting drivers , which brings us freedom from erics#$% compiled binaries.

So at some point it will be perfect, this rom also includes all the fixes that I have found for CM7 and much more.

But judging by the buglist, it's not yet ready for daily use, I will see if I can fix it a bit to make it better over weekend.

P.S. as a teaser I can say that once we have a working libaudio and libhardware_legacy compiled from source, we will have a complete Sense Froyo/Ginger rom from HTC Legend/WildfireS
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] zousoum96:

Hi there Racht,

What is the compatibility limit between the X8 and the X10 Minis? Will the work done on this ROM be able to affect the Mini ROMS?

One interesting fact: imagine how much can our X8 do, if with some PORTED racht's custom ROMs we can get 1100 in Quadrant, while X10 gets ~1350 on jerpelea's CM7, built from sources... :D
